Bulgaria’s Energy Regulator Funded with Extra 116,500 lev

Bulgaria's energy and water regulatory commission will receive a state subsidy in the amount of 116,500 lev for 2016, the Council of Ministers' press office said.

The extra subsidy will be spent on social insurance premiums and compensations that should be paid to fourteen former officials, who have won their legal cases against the regulator for having their labor contracts unilaterally terminated in 2013 and 2014.
